<p>[QUOTE="JrCoin, post: 869048, member: 18390"]First off I say go for physical silver. If it's worth having it's worth enjoying, and that means being able to have it on hand. How would you intend to liquidate when you realize your profit? That determines whether you buy rounds, coins, or bars. pre-64 junk silver or ASEs are good choices in my opinion. You get solid bullion with a hint of collectability that I prefer to ingots, rounds, or bars. Store em in an album and pray they tone nice, that will get you a collectors premium over spot. I'd consider doing something like Franklin halves or Roosevelt dimes, there aren't much in the way of key dates so you could do a complete set*sans proofs <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> * for around spot prices and still have a nice collection. Collector prices will ALWAYS exceed base metal content, so try to assemble a collection at spot prices. I'd just buy 90% junk and pick out the nicest examples for a collection, then retain and liquidate the other "junk" silver as you see fit. This is a technique that is more involved, I enjoy silver as a hobby as much as an investment. Perhaps you want to do something simpler. ASEs in the green monster tubes are nice, and a solid investment imho.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
